14-September-2008 18:02:46 - Gonad Redirected from Gonadal disorder The gonad is the organ that makes gametes. The gonads in males are the testes and the gonads in females are the ovaries. The product, gametes, are haploid germ cells. For example, spermatozoon and egg cells are gametes. Although medically the gonad term can refer to either male gonads testicles or female gonads ovaries, the vernacular, or slang, use of gonads or nads usually only refers to the testicles. Contents 1 Function 2 Testes 3 Regulation 4 Development Function In addition to producing gametes, the gonads are a combined glands providing both exocrine and endocrine functions. The male and female gonads produce steroid sex hormones, identical to those producted by adrenal cortical cells. The major distinction is the source and relative amounts produced. Testes Main article: Testicle The male gonads, known as the testes or testicles, secrete a class of hormones called androgens, and produce spermatozoa. The predominant androgen in males is testosterone. Regulation The gonads are controlled hormonally by luteinizing hormone LH and follicle-stimulating hormone FSH secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary gland's excretion of LH and FSH are, in turn, controlled by the hypothalamus' gonadotropin-releasing hormone. Development Main article: Development of the gonads Gonads start developing as a common anlage, in the form of gonadal ridges, and only later are differentiated to male or female sex organs. The SRY gene, located on the Y chromosome and encoding the testis determining factor, decides the direction of this differentiation. In 1943, Matthew Browne started a development of gonads in a part of the development of the urinary and reproductive organs.citation needed Retrieved from http://en..org/wiki/Gonad Categories: Glands | Endocrine system | Reproductive systemHidden categories: All articles with statements | Articles with statements since October 2007 Views Article Discussion this page History Personal tools Log in / create account Navigation Main page Contents Featured content Current events Random article Search Go Search Interaction Community portal Recent changes Contact Donate to Help Toolbox What links here Related changes Upload file Special pages Printable version Permanent link Cite this page Languages Català Dansk Deutsch Español Esperanto Eesti Français Ido Italiano Lietuvių МакедонÑ?ки Nederlands ‪Norsk bokmÃ¥l‬ Polski Português РуÑ?Ñ?кий Simple English SlovenÅ¡Ä?ina Suomi Svenska ไทย This page was last modified on 19 August 2008, at 10:21
